Deaf and hard of hearing children will see themselves and their everyday life experiences on the pages of the Duke books and workbooks.
We believe every child can love reading if they find stories they enjoy!
At the same time, kids with typical hearing will learn what it's like to hear differently. Children can follow along with the linked videos to learn from a Deaf instructor the proper way to sign the ASL vocabulary and practice signing the complete story in ASL. Reading the Duke the Deaf Dog books will spark their interest in learning more ASL to communicate with their classmates so no one is left out.
More than 90% of children who are born deaf or hard of hearing have parents with typical hearing. Each book in this series includes special Deaf Culture and ASL content for parents and educators. Duke the Deaf Dog ASL Series is a high quality option for your children or classroom.
